BORDER/POLITICS/WALL: “Republican National Committee chair Ronna Romney McDaniel said Wednesday [4-26-17] that failing to fulfill Donald Trump’s campaign promise to build a wall along the Mexican border will hurt the party in the 2018 midterm elections.
‘They’re gonna lose the trust of our base if we don’t keep our promises, our base is gonna walk away,’ McDaniel said when asked by conservative radio host Laura Ingraham about the possibly of the wall not being built or funded. ‘They’re gonna feel like, *hey you said one thing on the campaign trail to get elected and you didn’t act on it.*’
‘Certainly this was front and center in his campaign and our voters are gonna expect us to act on it,’ she added.”
